Chris Wilson Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 How much is a clutch kit for a non-bpu 96 TT 6 speed going to cost me. Price without flywheel. Available now: Uprated MKIV TT clutches. I use a stock genuine Toyota, brand new driven plate, as it is correctly balanced, doesn't judder and will hold all but mega torque highly modded engines or cars used for drag racing. I modify a stock brand new Toyota cover to give more clamping force. The reason I tooled up to do these is some of the aftermarket US clutches I have fitted SEEM to be built from used cover assemblies with reground friction surfaces, and a stronger spring. I have had hellish trouble getting these to fully release, because due to this seemingly thinner cast iron friction face, the geometry of the clutch goes to pot, and being a pull type clutch (the hydraulics pull the bearing away from the engine, rather than the more normal push type) it is a lot harder to effect a cure. For 475 pounds, no VAT to pay, you get a brand new driven plate, a brand new modded cover, and a brand new release bearing. I would rather fit myself so any complaints are down to me, I see too many clutches juddering due to someone without the right gear allowing the gearbox input shaft to bend the driven plate. The boxes' weight is allowed to swing on the plate centre, bending it, or clutches fitted to patently buggered flywheels. However, I might be persuaded to sell to people using bona fide fitters to install one. Toyota use a dual mass flywheel (the flywheel is in 2 parts, an inner and outer assembly, damped in the middle) which is now showing signs of wear causing a lot of rattle when idling or on very light throttle openings. For God knows what reason they are charging about 270 quid for a new one, they look more like they should be over 500 to me, but don't say anything :-) So if the flywheels old enough or abused enough to be scored it's best replaced. If pressed I will sell the clutch kit, which includes a new release bearing for a 3rd party to fit. Fitting by myself will cost £175 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
